I can't help celebrating the fact that a crack ship that I helped sail is now listed on the official Bulbapedia shipping list. (LoveAndOrdershipping, Anthea x Looker, based entirely on two fantastic tumblr RPers. And butts.)

Hello! Finally decided to post here after lurking for a long time. I just added some people here (from pages 230-234). Would be happy if you could add me back.

After what seemed like a million pokeballs and revives, I have finally caught a mewtwo.

[Commi-Ninja]

I caught Xerneas by hitting it once with flamethrower, causing a burn and taking about half its HP, then tossing 1 ultra ball at it. It felt like cheating.

They made legendaries so stupidly easy to catch this generation you don't even need to do that. I literally entered battle against it, threw an Ultra Ball or Quick Ball, and caught it. Four times (because I was trying to get one with good IVs). Twice it took three balls, but it was still at full health.

[aly_angelflight]

The first one I ran into had good IVs... not that I even wanted to bother resetting for them in the first place. It also took 3 ultra balls to catch. :V

Loving the feature that you receive either 10 BP or 100 pokémiles per transfer. ^^

Pokémon Bank - eShop Removal & Possible Delay

Nintendo have announced that they have temporarily removed Pokémon Bank from the Nintendo 3DS eShop. This is following hte massive influx of users on both Nintendo 3DS and Wii U coming on Christmas, plus the addition of Pokémon Bank causing the Nintendo Network to drive to a halt. This means users cannot download it anymore and currently cannot access the features of the game.. It is currently unclear when Pokémon Bank and Poké Transporter will return, or if the western release is delayed. They have made it clear that the 30 day trial for previously registered users will restart when it returns.
Edit @ 13:14: Pokémon Bank is now listed with a release of TBD (To Be Decided) on the North American and European eShops. We'll bring details on this as soon as we can[/spoiler]

Nintendo should have planned this better :V

Server break down. I am the opposite of surprised.
